in_o way_n of_o contumely_n and_o reproach_n but_o what_o we_o frequent_o find_v in_o book_n say_v against_o tyrant_n take_v its_o original_n from_o greek_a and_o roman_a writer_n who_o government_n

now_o where_o the_o right_a and_o exercise_n be_v sever_v there_o the_o government_n of_o the_o commonweal_n be_v like_o the_o ordinary_a government_n of_o the_o world_n in_o which_o god_n the_o
